Hi, all, I am user the docker version of Airbyte, I have synced a few databases that is huge. Now i want to switch the airbyte to a different machine, so I would like to clone everything there without the need to re-sync each database. How ccan I do it? I have copied the airbyte folder and also all the docker images over, but I still see a brand new airbyte when I launch it. What am I missing?

Airbyte has a postgresql database, if you are deploying everything equally, you must be able to copy the database volume, and restore it on the other machine. Otherwise, if you are using an external database, you need to dump the current database and restore it on the new one.

hi, Marcelo, is that the airbyte/db image you are talking about? I already cloned that and restored in the new machine. Is there anything else that i am missing? Are user data stored in anywhere else other than the docker compose folder and in the docker images?

No, the image is one thing but there is the docker volume of the database, you need to copy it's content to the new machine: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/804bf47484cc7fe5850223f26c5359f5cde3ed36/docker-compose.yaml#L208 in a linux system, it is usually stored in: /var/lib/docker/volumes/airbyte_db
